You have made my day!

mimsnet · 06/09/2016 13:56

Blue thank you Flowers Likewise!

How many things are there in your basket/wish list now? I'm up to £85 on decorations and cards Xmas Grin

Mummyshortlegz · 06/09/2016 14:15

I've seen some gorgeous stuff on John lewis. Skiing Father Christmas may make the cut Xmas Smile

mimsnet · 06/09/2016 15:32

Me too, Mummy, there are so many wonderful things! It's all so tempting...I'm loving the spun glass baubles in dark blue Xmas Grin

BiddyPop · 06/09/2016 15:55

Mimsnet and Mummyshortlegz you are both eeeevviiillllll

I may have put a few items in a shopping basket, to try and find the parcel motel details tonight off DH (as 1 item cannot be shipped internationally but DD would love it), and they actually have a bunny rabbit decoration which I need for my Bride's Box for DB and DSIL.

Blueisthemagicnumber · 06/09/2016 16:15

I have been wanting a deep navy and gold theme for years, and there is the most perfect bauble for sale, but my DH would have a fit as they are £4 each, and I am thinking I would need at least 30, so £120!

Blueisthemagicnumber · 06/09/2016 16:16

I also really like all the bugs and exotic birds.

mimsnet · 06/09/2016 17:33

Biddy we're definitely evil Santas Xmas Grin Here to tempt you...

Blue a gold and dark blue scheme would look amazing! Yes, it's £120 Shock but you will have them forever Xmas Grin. I really like the bees and insects, too, they look great.

Blueisthemagicnumber · 06/09/2016 19:25

I saw it in a shop window about 15 years ago, and have never found the perfect navy until now Xmas Grin

Six days til the "100 Days Till Christmas Princessing" starts (on Style&Beauty)

I'm going to Costco (to buy loopaper and binbags of course Xmas Wink ) and I'll have a looksie to see if they've sneaked in any Christmas bits

MollHackabout · 09/09/2016 07:29

B&M had a whole Christmas aisle today, plus another of tat gift sets Xmas Grin

HairsprayBabe · 09/09/2016 08:37

I love B&M, there is a lot of trash but some total gems! I got my lights from there last year as well as a load of really good wrapping paper and some cute individual ornaments!

Anyone been to The Range recently? Their christmas stock always gives me palpitations!!

nickdrakeslovechild · 09/09/2016 20:40

oooh I bought lots of lovely scandi style decorations from the range last year, they were just starting to pack them away and were something daft like 80% off, they are all in a box in the loft ready for this year. Any new decorations I buy I am now buying 2 of each. one for us and one to put away for my DD to have when she has her own tree and house! I'm a soppy bugger me Xmas Grin

MrsDilligaf · 09/09/2016 21:19

Back from holiday for 2 days before we whizz off to Wales for another holiday (was a great idea at the time...) and if I can manage to sneak my planning book into my bag I shall curl up and plan to my hearts content.

I did have a little moment of pure delight in TK Maxx as ours had just started putting out a few bits and pieces. I'm hoping that they have some Christmas Portmerrion Pottery this year - I didn't buy it last year because DH pulled a face so it's on my list for this year Xmas Grin

Home Bargains have selection boxes in!

Flufflepuff · 10/09/2016 08:23

Yay - other people count down too! 105 days everyone! Grin

It's lovely and cool and rainy here today, I feel a bit festive. (Going up to 28 on Tuesday though, how?!)

Does anyone know if John Lewis have got their Christmas sections up get? Might be worth a drive over later Smile

Blueisthemagicnumber · 10/09/2016 09:07

Found a great website www.christmastimeuk.com loads of lovely decorations.

Mummyshortlegz · 10/09/2016 11:20

I haven't managed to do anything this week. Although I have ordered more presents for the box. Xmas Blush
